@DeadPhoenix

At this point I don't think that it is my script (or associated GUI) that is failing you. The code at the point in the script you are reading just a fastboot command for wiping and then re-flashing the phone's partitions. The fastboot command is not able to communicate with your phone.

If you were to drop to a command prompt on your computer and type "fastboot devices" you would get nothing. That is because the fastboot drivers on your system are not working correctly. Further, if you were to type "fastboot reboot" you would receive "Waiting for device..." not because the phone isn't hooked up to your computer, you receive that message because your computer can not communicate with your phone. Most likely due to drivers.

I would suggest removing all USB-based peripherals except your phone. Then, if you see "Android" anything or even "Mass Storage Device" anything then right click on it and choose "Uninstall." I had to do this myself for fastboot on my home PC.

Unplug your phone from your computer and give it a few moments to register the disconnect. Then reconnect your phone and you should be provided with a Found New Hardware screen.

Also, I do not know which SPL you have but I believe that one of them requires updated USB drivers. I've only seen this SPL on Haykuro builds though. If you are just using the JF firmware then you shouldn't need to worry about different fastboot drivers.

Please let us know if your problem is resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.
[G1 General] DVS_Sokar:
Yes it seems to be a communication issue.

Going to try loading up the USB driver from SDK 1.5 again.
[G1 General] oDeACoNo:
WOW this looks pretty nice, I can't wait to get home an check it out! Awesome job guys.
[G1 General] infernix:
Nice work. I might ping you guys if I ever put out an update for nandroid, although that's not likely to happen anytime soon (I don't fix what isn't broken) :)
[G1 General] Roadmasta01:
wasn't hard before, but easier with a GUI is almost always better. really appreciate the hard work guys thanks.
[G1 General] nicksen782:
@infernix

Thank you for the acknowledgement!

I saw many posts with people having trouble with restoring their Nandroid backups. It would be a bit confusing to some where you have a backup option but not a restore (from the recovery mode anyway.) Many people are not comfortable with the command line unfortunately and I saw an opportunity to give something back to the community so to speak. My portion simply was at the heart, just a script with the Fastboot restore commands. Markazah provided a GUI which made it even better.

I imagine that a restore might be possible from the recovery image but because of partitions already being mounted at this point it would be unlikely without a fundamental rewrite of the recovery image.

In the modified recovery image a user can use Alt+X to drop to a command line. What if another option was made available in the recovery image that loaded up a RAM drive with another operating system session and flashing tools and control was handed off to it? At this point that new section could unmount everything other than the RAM and copy all necessary drivers and tools into it just for the restore. rive and flash the Nandroid backups back. Clearly, Fastboot is a clear winner for simplicity. It sounds like it would be much work to create this RAM drive. Imagine what bugfixes would be like, ha!

Please correct me if I'm wrong of course.

What about mounting .IMG files? What if you could boot into Android from that basic command prompt that the recovery image gives you? Remember the old days of Windows 3.1 where you would boot your computer into DOS and then have to type "win" to get into Windows? Or where you boot into a Linux machine and start X up manually?

What if you could up boot the Android that exists in those .IMG files? This may be off topic but I'm thinking dual / multi boot here.

nandroid restore

I did a restore with the recovery GUI and the first version also, everything looks to be ok, but when I reboot it stays at the animated android screen, and wont boot up. any ideas???
[G1 General] pensive:
nandroid script with a lot more options for ...

managing backups and updates. I added quite a bit of functionality, it has not been included as yet in CM recovery, hopefully after some other folk test it.

In any case, here it is.
[G1 General] nicksen782:
@javijuan

What .img files did you restore back to your phone?

I'd be interested in a logcat of your phone. If you have ADB set up then you can go the command prompt and use "adb logcat > output.txt" and attach the output.txt to a post.
[G1 General] nicksen782:
@pensive

This is awesome! I'd imagine that this may end up utilized by Cyanogen in a future build of his.

This Nandroid restore here is meant for Windows users who are uncomfortable with the command line.
[G1 General] pensive:
Ok, hopefully someone will write a GUI for the other options.

I, myself, feel too constrained by all the GUIs.
[G1 General] plusplusplus:
Hi, i have a vodafone magic and tried a hero ROM following this guide: http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/

I made a nandroid backup. Basically: Didn't like the hero rom, tried flashing another one, and now im stuck with a G1 ROM which although smooth and complete doesnt auto rotate and also doesnt seem to play well with the battery.

I wanted to restore to my default magic build, reading around on this forum would lead me to think that this is possible using this tool and my nandroid backup i made before i changed anything. I tried using the batch command, and while copying the files it came up with FAILED: remote signature verify fail.

It then completes and of course nothing boots. i can then reinstall the G1 ROM, but i cant seem to get the magic build back using the nandroid backups!

Am i doing anything wrong here? I cant see where the problem could be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[G1 General] pistol4413:
What recovery image do u have?
[G1 General] reynierpm:
Hi, I'm trying to use the GUI or the script but without success. As you can see in the attached image all seem to be fine but when my phone restart it says "FASTBOOT USB" at top and stay there "stopped" without do anything else. What I'm doing wrong?

Cheers and thanks in advance
[G1 General] ZianChoy:
Is there any chance that this tool will be updated to handle backups of the "ext" partition?
[G1 General] nicksen782:
Sorry, probably not at this point. At the time, the G1 and MyTouch were the only game in town so they were not hard to support. At this point, Clockwork has a method to handle multiple different NANDROID backups.

But thank you for the interest!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] oruam57:
Who used TomTom (VGA version) on Topaz might have noticed that the map is beautiful but the POI icons are more or less invisible (22 pixels on the Topaz WVGA are less the 2 mm) and overlook some kind of POI can be, well, dangerous (speed cameras).

After some research I found the solution: provide the _X2.bmp files.

Longer explanation for people who do not know about POI format.

1 - A POI category data is normally provided as 2 files: a <category name>.ov2 file with the coordinate of the locations and a <category name>.bmp file with the image to be shown on the map at the POI locations.

2 - <category name>.bmp is normally a 22 x 22 pixels 16 or 256 colors BMP file.

3 - Optionally a 44 x 44 pixels 16 or 256 colors BMP file named <category name>_X2.bmp can be added, but this is quite uncommon.

4 - QVGA version of TomTom uses the .bmp file to show POI locations on the map and the _X2.bmp file to show the top left warning when nearing a POI location. If the _X2.bmp file is missing it uses an elarged version of the .bmp file.

5 - When the _X2.bmp file is missing the VGA version of TomTom does enlarge the .bmp file to show the warning but not to show the POI locations. On the other hand if present it uses the _X2.bmp file also to show the POI locations on the map.

Therefore, to get larger POI icons on the map

1 - Make a copy of yours <category name>.bmp files

2 - Rename the copies <category name>_X2.bmp

3 - Using whatever graphical editor resize the _X2.bmp files to 44 x 44 pixels.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] NLCJ:
I don't have TomTom and I am not planning to get it, but if you already renamed all of them. How about uploading those files so other users don't need to do a lot to get it good?

Just a suggestion (if it varies on the version of TomTom, then I didn't say anything :p)!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] w.laugs:
But when I switch to landscape mode, they are small again. Is there a solution too for this.

HTC TD2 480x800
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] fraser_arms:
Hi,

I had a look at your solution but my Tomtom 7 already has the X2 icons in 44x44 and they still coming up small. I'm using the HTC touch diamond 2.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] mrmckeb:
Yeah uploading would be a good idea ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] oruam57:
I have a Diamond2 too and my X2 icons works.

I suppose you already checked the exact matching of names between ov2, bmp and _X2.bmp files (e.g. Semafori.ov2, Semafori.bmp and Semafori_X2.bmp).

I can only specify that I have TomTom 7.915.9196 for VGA (note that there are a QVGA and a VGA version and they are different).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] obsydian:
Thanks.

Do you find the keyboard is also too small/compressed down ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] oruam57:
I do not think so but it might be subjective and also version (QVGA or VGA) dependent.

At any rate these are version information, POI icon and keyboard appearance on my screen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] gyedema:
Stupid question perhaps, but where can I find the .ov2 and .bmp files to edit..??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] oruam57:
There are many sites providing pois for different nations. For examples look at http://www.poiedit.com/sites.htm
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] gyedema:
OK; found that site too, but my point is: I was able to find the .bmp files for TomTom (although editing them to 44x44 resulted in a red square on the ttmap). In TomTom itself there are a lot of other poi's like gasstations, cashmachines etcetera. I can't find these poi's in my phone..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] kika.93:
I have the same problem, on my Touch HD POI are too smalls!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] todd69:
Here's the speed camera icons resized, just sorted them out on my phone :)

EDIT: scratch that, just show as red squares now :(

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] donsdcorleone:
Hello fellow communitymembers,

First let me say that i have been a user of this forum for a short while now and i love all the stuff that it offers..:D:D

However, there is one problem that i cant seem to get fixed.. i currently have the mda varioIV aka the HTC touch Pro with a web and walk Plus

http://www.t-mobile.nl/persoonlijk/htdocs/page/productinformatie/mobiel-

internet-telefoon/plus.aspx

(They had an interesting offer with two years free if you take at least 300 minutes for two years..)

In order to see the channels i went to the page http://pda.t-mobile.nl, pressed the tab tv and video and the channels would be displayed there..

But now the channels are not there anymore, i think it happened after i installed a custom rom from this forum but i am not for sure. That being said, i called T-Mobile with this problem, they said they could not help me because i did not have the Original ROM installed.. so now i have no webTV but i am going to have to pay for it. PLEASE if anyone has a sollution or advise for this problem then help me.

(Please excuse me for my english, i am not a native speaker)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Netblade.nl:
You still can get those tv channels to work.

Just go to Opera and type "http://t-mobile.nob.nl".

My experiance with custom roms and T-Mobile TV isn't that good, skipping audio.

While the original rom doesn't have this kind of errors. That's why I'm still @ the T-Mobile Dutch Rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] donsdcorleone:
Opera is not working, i have a ShEp's Rom installed and Opera doesnt seem to work on my telephone (HTTP gateway timed out).. i will install that m-rom later on tonight and see if it works then..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Maart84:
It has to do with the product identification... The t-mobile website checks if you have a mda vario iv or not. Most custom roms change the device id to something else. I thought you could change it back somehow but not sure how, i never use that tv thing anymore...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] osrix:
Hey man, just reading ure thread, device id is under settings,system,About..it could be that that has changed to HTC_Fuze or something, I don't know what the origional device id would be but i expect Google does!:)

if it is not that you could try "Opera:Config" type this into Opera and it will give you a list, go down to "User Prefs" tap that, then Scroll down to

" Custom User Agent"

I use sgh-i900 to get BBC streaming, but you could use the mda device id..

hope this helps some, post again if you need more help or i what i wrote doesn't make sense!! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] donsdcorleone:
It is working, i can now go to the t-mobile.nob.nl page after installing M-Rom, i will try that device name later on since i am currently at work...:cool:
[HTC Vox] scanman1:
hi there.....sorry for the stupid doubt. but i need them cleared by those of u who dont mind helping newbies like me out.

what are the benefits of flashing a newer radio version? does it improve battery life or what else?

i am with airtel in india. i run radio version 4.1.13.41_02.88.90. is this good enough or would anyone recommend a better version?

will be grateful if anyone can help me out!

thanx in advance
[HTC Vox] scanman1:
still no reply? cant anyone clear my doubt?
[HTC Vox] Rudolfje:
If you have no problems with your current version, why upgrade?

Newer versions are said to have better batterylife and/or resolve dropped call issues or have better signal strength.

But I think no one knows for sure.
[HTC Vox] scanman1:
hmmm.....my battery is just over a year old and runs out in a day. i charge it daily. i run fireburned's lite rom and i dont use wifi or gprs or too much of bluetooth. do u think a radio upgrade will improve my battery life?

signal problem and dropped calls are not an issue with this radio that i have. it never has been.
[G1 General] rukus:
Hi all,

does anyone compare this phones by means of performance (CPU, graphics)? I didn't find anything in google :(
[G1 General] jashsu:
They have roughly similar cpu and graphics, hardware-wise. In terms of actual perceived performance, Android will probably be laggier due to the fact it is fully multitasking and apps are run through a vm. iPhone apps are compiled to run on the bare processor and for the most part are singletasking, so they will appear to run smoother.
[G1 General] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
I don't think the whole vm bit affects performance much(if at all) since the G1 has hardware java acceleration.
[G1 General] jashsu:
If I recall correctly, the Jazelle technology in MSM7201 is not active since it only works on Java bytecode (dex tool converts Java bytecode into Dalvik bytecode). I could be mistaken, but i'm pretty sure it was discussed on android-discuss in passing at one time.

Edit: I will say that even though average performance seems adequate for most purposes, during the times when dvm decides to do gc, the phone does freeze up pretty badly. This has gotten better in 1.5, atleast.
[G1 General] dwang:
I also believe some of the rendering on the iphone, such as page scrolling is going through the graphics chip whereas the g1 is doing most of the rendering via software. So the iphone is faster in that respect as well.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
[G1 General] exile20:
If true then this makes sense why the iphone's browser slides across the screen so easily. That was one thing that bothered me about the G1. Is the iphone just as powerful as the g1?
[G1 General] dwang:
They both use the same arm chip with the same graphic accelerator. Both cpu's are underclocked, but the iphone is running at a higher clock speed than the g1.

I'm not sure why android is not using the graphic chip for scrolling. I'm guessing its because they have to support different multiple hardware architectures and platforms and couldn't set it up in a such way where the graphics chip can be accessed in a platform independent manner, whereas the iphone software is coded specifically for the arm platform.
[G1 General] exile20:
I am not sure this is right, iPhone's got a 620MHz ARM chip as seen in this artical http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/iphone-processor-found-620mhz-arm/

I guess it is a combination of higher specs and a better performing os. I wonder if Google can ever tweak Android to run smooth through out cause even though i have clocked my G1 at 528 running JF 1.5, It is still sluggish in some instances such as the browser and slight jitters here and there on the home screen.
[G1 General] jashsu:
iPhone 3G is underclocked to 412 Mhz (max, speed varies during operation). On G1, the performance variation (particularly the jittering) is most likely due to inefficiencies due to vm (ever look at the garbage collection frequency in a log dump?) and unoptimized use of opengl acceleration.

Android on G1 can perform better (there was a noticeable increase in performance going from 1.1 -> 1.5) but at some point the optimizations start becoming hardware-dependent, and I think the Android Team is weary of spending much time on hardware-dependent tweaks (in particular, a JIT compilier for the vm).
[G1 General] Henchman:
Simply put, the iPhone still runs much smoother than the G1.

The little rock/iPhone picture has no bearing on the question whatsoever.
[G1 General] rukus:
i found info about iphone here - but unfortunately there is no info on g1 - look here:

http://www.glbenchmark.com/phonedetails.jsp?benchmark=pro&D=Apple iPhone&testgroup=overall
[G1 General] jordanjay29:
It kind of does. The iPhone purports to be a modern smartphone, however it cannot handle such basic tasks as MMS, video recording or adding additional memory, things that even modern dumbphones can handle. That's terribly crippling, and although some of it is going to be resolved with iPhone OS 3.0, its hardware simply cannot handle removable cards or video recording/videocalls.
[G1 General] Shrivel:
I doubt we'll see removable cards on an iPhone anytime soon - Apple has every reason to force people to use iTunes to put media on their devices.
[G1 General] exile20:
Please dont turn this into an Iphone bashing thread, but i do agree and disagree with your point. The Iphone is not really a smart phone, but yet not a multimedia phone. It is somewhere in between. Not having removable disk is not a problem especially if you buy the 16gig but multitasking is very important and it does not have that fully. The G1 i would consider to be a smart phone because of it's smart phone features but it is really lacking in smart phone performance and that is what the iphone has over it. I just hope the google team can get it to a point that there is little to no lag.
[G1 General] Seanambers:
I must agree on the performance part, the G1 sorry to say - isn't exactly speeding along in alot of aspects, but what irritates me the most is how f.king useless the camera really is, my 1.2mp webcam takes better pictures than this thing under worse conditions. But you can't have it all i guess :)
[G1 General] dwang:
I think from an absolute perspective, the g1 has quite good performance.

If you gave the g1 to somebody who has never used an iphone, that person would not have any issues with performance. The g1 with version 1.5 runs quite snappy as a matter of fact.

However, when compared with the iphone, there are some differences in performance, but I think the g1 still holds up quite well, given the architectural differences between android and iphone.

Yes, the iphone does scroll faster than the g1, but scrolling in the g1 is still very smooth and fast for the most part.
[G1 General] m.klinge:
So how does it put up against a HTC touch HD running WiMo for instance? I assume more snappy?

//M
[G1 General] dwang:
i've never used a winmo device so I wouldn't know.
[G1 General] exile20:
To me Winmo is quite laggy and the fact that the screen is resistive is a killer for me. I cant stand them. TouchFlo is very nice looking tho.

On the performance part of the G1, I admit it is snappy when you have a fresh install but as the apps download, the sms start to accumulate and the more contacts you have it slows down more and more but it is still quite usable. The browser is my biggest gripe with the G1. Surfing a site like www.ign.com makes scrolling come to a crawl on the G1. I never used android other than on the g1 so i am not sure if the bottleneck is the OS or the phone's hardware. That is what i would like to know.
[G1 General] dwang:
ign is pretty slow on the g1 due to all the javascript it has, but its faster in 1.5 and quite useable now especially if you are setting the CPU to 528mhz using one of those clocking apps like SetCPU.

I don't have an iphone to test with, but how is the performance of ign.com on the iphone?
[G1 General] mannyb:
Don't know about Touch HD, but compared to an Xperia X1 running winmo a G1 running 1.1 is lightning fast, and 1.5 is of course even faster.
[G1 General] Shrivel:
There's is no Windows Mobile device that can hold a candle to the G1 or iPhone in terms of speed. The fastest WinMo device will still feel like molasses in comparison.
[G1 General] jashsu:
Winmo's problems mainly aren't hardware based. It's really that the os needs to have its architecture and ui paradigm completely overhauled. It really hasn't changed since I tried it in the late 90's. But that's not really what this thread is about (which is to say, we're going off topic).
[G1 General] rukus:
hold on

i mean not menu smoothness or some visual parts - i mean what apps (games) can do - how fast they can be? new iphone games shows very good graphics and android games is very simple - i don't quite understand - is it cos android younger or cos it isn't capable of doing this? )
[G1 General] zgmf-x322a:
There isnt much differences between an iphone and the g1. But the main difference is that g1' cpu speed is at 3xx mhz while the iphone cpu speed is at 6xx. In order for the g1 to run full speed at 527.xx speed, u will have to download an app in the market called the overclock. Another difference is that the iphone has better video display graphics than g1 by looking at the g1's youtube app. The video looks worsen than in the iphone. Would it be bcoz of the 16m colours ?
[G1 General] dwang:
Wrong on both counts..

apple's iphone is underclocked so it only runs at around 412 mhz.

cupcake has an updated youtube app that lets you view videos in high quality so the videos look exactly the same as the iphone.
[G1 General] jashsu:
Oh that's simple. Creating complex 3d games requires time and money. Investing time and money only pays off if you have a large enough userbase to sell to. More users -> better apps -> more users. It's a virtuous cycle. Android will get its impressive 3d apps in time.
[G1 General] Nikeem24:
I agree to what your saying. Im going to try to learn how to do 3D games on Android when I get out of Tech school in the Airforce.
